A 60-year-old patient with testicular seminoma was referred for F-18 FDG PET/CT Study to evaluate recurrence. In addition to hypermetabolic cervical, mediastinal and hilar lymph node tumoral metastases, segmental intense FDG uptake along the lumbar spinal cord suggestive of tumoral metastasis was noted which quite an unusual presentation is.  At the time of PET study the patient was symptomless...

Introduction: Thermal ablation by microwave (MWA) has proven efficacy in treatment of primary and metastatic cancers. Soft tissue tumors could be ablated completely using MWA. However, bony tissue metastasis particularly spinal vertebral metastasis ablation has not reported yet. Case presentation: A 50 year old male patient with primary diagnosed colon cancer undergone surgical resection of ...

a 38 years old male worker presented with an advanced left side retroperitoneal mass, with metastatic involvement of 11th thoracic vertebra (t11) and resultant paraparesia and paresthesia . the histopathologic examination and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of paraganglioma. decompression laminectomy and fixation of involved vertebra resulted to considerable symptomatic rel...

background metastatic spinal tumors are common and major causes of pathological spinal fractures that result in severe pain, weakness, and progressive neurological deficits. this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (pvp) in pain-relief in patients with spinal fractures due to metastatic spinal tumors. methods we evaluated 25 documented cases of metastatic spinal t...

Vascular invasion is characteristic for follicular carcinoma of the thyroid and distant metastasis common. Spinal cord compression due to metastases differentiated as initial presentation an extremely rare condition. We report a case asymptomatic metastatic cancer which presented with spinal compression. This patient metastasized narrowing airway posed many challenges anesthetist.

Metastasis of kidney cancer to the bone tissue can be manifested through development pathological fractures and spinal cord lesions. The clinical case clear cell renal carcinoma with solitary metastasis in thoracic spine presented this article demonstrates possibility manifestation disease neurological symptoms importance timely comprehensive diagnosis adherence treatment deadlines.

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis is an uncommon manifestation of systemic tumor. We present a case of metastatic mass inside the thoracic spinal cord 6 years after nephrectomy because of renal cell carcinoma. The parenchymal lesion was resected totally and the histologic examination confirmed it as renal cell carcinoma metastasis. The patient's neurological function improved apparently unt...
